Hulda from Holland

45Watch it awake.

Pickford, not Dutch, plays a girl an American family does not want to bother with.

The review

We had a Pickford the children trust, and this one needs a footnote. She plays a Dutch immigrant. She was not Dutch. A girl comes from Holland into an American family that does not want the trouble of her. The household is the argument. A house can watch it. I was glad the point stayed plain.

Say the nationality is a part, not a portrait of Holland. The argument is the household: a girl arrives, and the family treats her as trouble. I recognized the flinch. Extra people wear you out, and this picture knows that excuse. It does not make the excuse kind. I would not pretend the costume settles who she is.

Journal

Keep Hulda from Holland in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 45. Yours can differ.

The glance

Industry and Piety and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Uptown Girls

58 instead of 45

Uptown Girls is still a drama film, and it scores 58 instead of 45. What you gain is stewardship: The charge is a child who needed one reliable adult.

The eight

Courage
She comes from Holland into a house that did not ask for the trouble.

4
Temperance

The welcome is the argument, but Pickford is only playing at being Dutch.

Left open is whether that American family ever makes room for her.

A Star Is Born

45Watch it awake.

Love is not a cure for a man who will not put the drink down. The film knows. It still asks you to ache for him.

The review

Ally has a gift and a job she is afraid to claim. Jackson has a gift he is spending to stay numb. The film sees both, and then it makes his death the door to her voice, which is an old lie about artists: that the ruin is the price of the true note. The true note was already there in the parking lot, before the ruin was asked to be meaningful.

Adults only. If you watch it, refuse the last alchemy. A person who kills himself is not a chord. Say that in the room so the song does not get the last word.

Piety and Republic and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?

Don't Say Good Luck

63 instead of 45

Don't Say Good Luck is still a drama film, and it scores 63 instead of 45. What you gain is temperance: Sentiment is thick.
